Free TAX-AIDE service begins in February

Beginning Feb. 1, IRS-certified AARP TAX-AIDE volunteers are available again to prepare and electronically file tax returns at several sites in the Sequim area. The service is free of charge and runs through the tax season in April.

TAX-AIDE is sponsored by the IRS and the AARP Foundation, but the service is available to low- and middle-income taxpayers of all ages.

An appointment is required at most sites.

TAX-AIDE volunteers are authorized to prepare most basic tax returns, making sure that the taxpayer receives all the eligible deductions and credits. They do not prepare returns for taxpayers who have income from rental properties or for taxpayers with complicated business returns.
